Abstract
The research purpose is to define and to classify different surface karst features and to determine under what conditions and with what processes they developed. Regarding prevailing surface karst features we will try to find the reasons for differences in geomorphologic development of different karst areas. The revised old knowledge and new researches will be evaluated in the sense of importance of karst features and karst landscape for preservation of natural and partly also cultural heritage on karst. The project results will be available to the planners of life on karst, as well as to those who deal with different interventions (construction, roads, waste disposals) and also to those who are in charge of tourism and education. The project results presented in GIS will help to better evaluate the problematic and to form the guidelines for different interventions in karst landscape.
